Celebrating his achievement on Twitter, Cox writes: “13 years ago today I fell in love with Xbox achievements after unlocking “Cluster Buster” in Hexic HD for 5 G. Last night I unlocked this achievement in @Halo MCC that put me at exactly 2,000,000 Gamerscore. This is how I express my passion that burns from within for VIDEO GAMES”
